Casa La Pieve Camper Park

Berat (10 minutes’ drive) has to be the first stop on your sightseeing schedule. Explore the historic Mangalem and Gorica neighbourhoods overlooking the Osum River, where white Ottoman-era houses cling to steep hillsides. Next, head up to the ancient clifftop fortress for far-reaching views over the city, before dipping into the collection of gleaming icons at the Onufri National Museum. The rugged countryside surrounding Berat is just begging to be discovered on foot, or you can admire the natural beauty of the sheer Osum river canyons (15 minutes) by bike, kayak or guided rafting tour through the spectacular gorge. Learn more about life in rural Albania with visits to local vineyards Çobo (10 minutes) and Nurellari (25 minutes) for tours of the winemaking process and the chance to taste some of the region’s best vintages. Explore the pretty villages of Roshnik Qendër (35 minutes) and Bogovë (an hour), where you can sample local dishes like tavë kosi (baked lamb with yoghurt) and fërgesë (pepper and tomato stew) at traditional taverns.
